The unexpected uses of filtered tea bags

Tea bags are a very convenient and quick drink, but the benefits that this product offers are not only there.

Soothe sunburned areas: Tea bags will be your savior on hot days when you forget to wear sunscreen. The tannic acid and theobromine found in tea help absorb heat from the sunburned areas, and the tea’s other ingredients help regenerate the damaged skin. You just need to massage the sunburn with wet filtered tea bags. Soothes bruises and minor scratches: The tannin and caffeine in tea are known to constrict blood vessels. Bruises are caused by broken capillaries under the skin, so when you put a tea filter bag on the bruise, the capillaries under your skin will shrink, helping the bruise to dissolve faster. This can also be used for minor scratches to make blood clots faster. Maintain healthy oral cavity: Dentists recommend applying filtered tea bags to the gums after tooth extraction. The tannins in tea help blood to clot faster and blood vessels to contract faster. Tea bags also help absorb blood and protect open wounds, and gently disinfect. Soothe eye problems: The anti-inflammatory properties of tea bags make it a popular home remedy for dark circles under the eyes. Just soak two tea bags, then squeeze out the water and let it cool, then close your eyes and place the tea bag over your eyes for 15 minutes. Treating redness and insect bites: Tea’s astringent properties can help soothe the itchiness caused by mild redness or insect bites. Simply squeeze all the water out of the used filtered tea bag and then put the tea bag in the refrigerator. Once the tea bag has cooled, apply it directly to the bite or rash until the itchiness disappears. Hair conditioner: Regularly rinsing hair with tea can promote rapid hair growth, reduce itchy dandruff, balance scalp oil and prevent split ends. The antioxidants and vitamins found in tea help hydrate the hair, making it smoother and more shiny. Soothes the feet: Putting the used filtered tea bags into the foot bath will help increase the effectiveness of the foot bath. The antioxidants in tea help soften and care for the skin of the feet, while reducing foot odor. Soaking your feet with tea can also help reduce the pain of your feet caused by standing for long periods of time. Carpet cleaning: Tea also acts as a non-chemical deodorant. You just need to dry the used tea bag, then tear it open to get the tea leaves inside. Mix the tea leaves with a handful of baking soda, then sprinkle the mixture on the carpet. After about 20 minutes, use a vacuum cleaner to vacuum the mixture off the carpet. Cleaning kitchen utensils and windows: Tannin in tea can help liquefy oil stains on pots and pans. Simply place the filtered tea bags on the bottom of a dirty pot or pan, pour boiling water in it, and leave it overnight. After a night, you can easily clean the pot. Black tea filter bags can also clean glass windows and mirrors. The filtered tea bag contains a lot of nitrogen, which in turn can be used as a fertilizer. You can tear open the used filter tea bag and then sprinkle tea pulp on the base of the plant. Diluted tea can also be sprayed on plants to prevent insects and pests.
